ACUPCC Institutions Save Money by Reducing Emissions

Colleges and universities that sign the ACUPCC become part of a vast network of schools leading society towards climate neutrality by implementing climate action plans that address education, research initiatives, community engagement, and campus operations. On-campus emissions-reducing efforts benefit the environment, the students who gain hands on experience in the field of sustainability, and the institution’s budget.

East Los Angeles College (ELAC) is one of nine public institutions of the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD). The solar farm at ELAC is a major component in the sustained effort to take all nine of its colleges "off the grid."
